Rana, Pranaya. 2015. City of Dreams
BOOK REVIEWS | 427 on development intervention in which people and communities are the mere subjects of large scale development interventions. Fujikura tries to reverse this thinking by showing how people actively build and revise discourses of development, empowerment, participation and rights based on their choices and needs, like in the kamaiyà liberation movement, by using the approaches and methods popular in development practices. Secondly, Fujikura offers very interesting insights to the understanding of the Maoist movement and the kamaiyà liberation movement with detailed ethnographic observation. One would wish that Fujikaru had discussed at some more length the role (and place) of the anthropologist in fieldwork setting where s/he actively shares the concerns and aspirations of the people under study. His active involvement in and support to the kamaiyà liberation movement as a fieldworker should have been augmented by his own reflections on the anthropologist’s place in the multilayered ethnographic context. This would have provided some additional flavor to the overall insights of the book. The expressions of the respondents, which Fujikura presents to make his case on some key aspects of development, awareness and social movements would have needed more intensive examination. It is not unusual that respondents often have readymade answers on certain aspects of their agency which may not necessarily reflect the social realities which they live and interact with. The expressions, for example, of Comrade Jamuna, Parvati Adhikari, Yagyaraj Chaudhari, Dar Bahadur and Indra Bahadur need to be examined against the complex social and economic realities of their everyday lives. People often have multiple statements to fit multiple contexts. -

Confederation of Nepalese Industries 5th fl oor, Trade Tower Thapathali, Kathmandu, Nepal P.O. Box no. 21056 Phone: +977-1-5111122/23, Fax: +977-1-5111125 E-mail: [email protected] Websites: www.cnind.org, www.investnepal.gov.np www.cnind.org President’s Message MESSAGE Dear Members and Friends of CNI, his year has also been a monumental year for CNI as it initiated and organized several important programs to energize the economy and businesses focusing on infrastructure Tand the federal economic model. Throughout the year, CNI has worked tirelessly to promote private sector and advocated for appropriate legislative policy reforms and towards improving the working environment necessary for an investment friendly climate in Nepal. Unfortunately we stand today in the wake of tragic loss of life and property as a result of the devastating earthquake that hit our country on April 25. I, on behalf of CNI, would like to extend our deepest condolences to all those who lost their near and dear ones because of this earthquake. It has been testing times for our country but we as a nation have shown our resilience and strength, working together in this process of rebuilding our nation. It is in this belief that we can not only overcome this tragedy but come back stronger and with a revitalized economy that is why we have themed this year’s 12th Annual General Meeting as ‘Build Back Better’ to look at the opportunities and challenges in building a better Nepal. CNI is highly positive that we can stand and come together in this nation building process and that the role of the business community is ever more important in taking the rebuilding process forward. -

JODEM: Journal of Language and Literature, vol. 10, no. 1, issue 12, 2019/ 2076BS 143 Ramji Timalsina, PhD Abstract Where is the home of Nepali diasporans? Is Nepal still their home? The recent theory of diaspora questions the traditional notions of home and homeland. Their a home in the host land. Such a home has the quality of both of the homes that is the home they have left behind and the standard home they see in the host land. In Nepali Diaspora, too, such a theme has crept into literary creations. In this article the beginning, expresses his desire to home, i.e. feel comfortable, himself in the diaspora. Later he is happy because of the fulfillment of the desire. This analysis home in the globalized time have been used to supp theoretical stand. It is hoped that this article will encourage further discourse on Keywords: Nepali Diaspora, homeland, host land, homing desire, subjectivity, identity. The confluence of emotion, desire and identity issue of the diasporans and the society they form make diasporic subjectivity. It is the subjectivity of an individual and the society s/he lives in. The compulsion of the first generation diasporans to leave the land where they were born and grew up causes the development of special emotions in them. Even when they settle well in the host land, they cannot be free from the influence of the homeland and its socio- cultural aspects that have been engraved into their blood itself. It makes them nostalgic; and consequently they are emotionally divided into the homeland and host land. -
Inclusion-Exclusion Dynamics: a Comparative Study of Nepal's National Anthems “Shreemangambhira” and “Sayaunthunga”
Patan Pragya (Volume: 6, Number: 1 2020) Received Date: Jan. 2020 Revised: April 2020 Accepted: June 2020 Inclusion-Exclusion Dynamics: A Comparative Study of Nepal’s National Anthems “ShreemanGambhira” and “SayaunThunga” Dhungel Nabaraj Abstract This article attempts to critically analyze the inclusion-exclusion dynamics in two Nepalese National anthems “ShreemanGambhira” and “Sayaun Thunga” using Michel Foucault’s ideas of social inclusion and exclusion. It explores how the old national anthem and the new national anthem of Nepal picturize such dynamicsin melodious tunes. It also projects how the former deifies the monarchs and monarchy, and the latter glorifies the sacrificial contribution of the Nepalese people from diverse nationalities and geographical regions. This research shows that the former, military- tune-changed king’s song ultimately turned out to be national anthem, centers on the monarchy singularly focusing on the longevity, sovereignty, ancestral glory, grandeur and supremacy of the king only excluding the pluralistic voice of the nation and people whereas the latter represents the nation and people highlighting the unity in diversity, people’s and nation’s sovereignty and longevity, equality, people’s democracy, inclusiveness and proportional representation as it is the achievement of People’s War of ten years and People’s Movement II. The old one promotes the exclusionary philosophy whereas the new one the inclusionary philosophy of true patriotism and humanism voicing even the voiceless people. This study clearly reveals how the nation-and-people- representing national anthems can be both inclusionary according to the political necessity after the people’s movement and the political interest and exclusionary concealed in the melodious tune and deceptive voice of patriotism. -
River Culture and Water Issue: an Overview of Sapta-Koshi High Dam Project of Nepal
ISSN: 2348 9510 International Journal Of Core Engineering & Management(IJCEM) Volume 1, Issue 3, June 2014 River culture and water issue: an overview of Sapta-Koshi high dam project of Nepal Dr. Som Prasad Khatiwada [email protected] Abstract: Koshi, Gandaki and Karnali are main three big rivers of Nepal flowing from east, middle and western part of Nepal. Each river has its own history, culture and tradition, which is alike with most of other ancient river civilizations. Among them Koshi is the biggest river and its culture is known as the oldest one in Nepal. Varahakshetra, Chatara, Pindeswara and Ramdhuni of Nepal and Simheswor and Tarasthan of Bihar India are the centre of pilgrims and civilization in Koshi River basin. Because of its destructive nature, we cannot find the archaeological remains of old civilization at Sapta Koshi valley. However, Kichakbadh, Rajabirat Kshetra and Bideha are some of the famous centers of civilization near Koshi basin. This river is said the Kausiki Mata in ancient Samskrit texts. According to the Pauranic text of Hindus, it is originated from the sweat of Parvati and she is known as Parvati in religious aspect. Because of its destructive nature, people were always afraid from its flood and therefore, people planned to make dams in Koshi River from long ago. In this process Saptakoshi high dam project was prepared from the side of India at British India period. The main center of making this dam was in Nepal and more benefit goes to the Indian side from this project. Therefore, Koshi high dam project is in conflict between these countries. -
